In the construction of the invention, the body forms an elongated pad somewhat lozenge shape, the angles being rounded as shown. This body is formed of at least two thicknesses of suitable material which. in the forms shown in Figures 2 to 8, inclusive, consist of a velvet or plush layer or side 10, and a layer at side 11 of waterproof fabric. In the form shown in Figures 9 and 10 both layers or sides 12 are of velvet or plush.

' In each form, ribbons 13 extend in opposite directions from the central portions of the side edges and each ribbon has one end doubled and inverted between the layers as at 14. Through this doubled end and one side extends a staple 15 and a second staple 16 extends through this end and through both layers or sides. Preferably the staples are inverted from the outer or waterproof side so as to have minimum contact with th skin or clothing. i

In the form shown in Figure 2 a safety pin 17 is carried bythe soft side so that the pad may be attached to the clothing wherever desired. v

In the modified forms the inner side carries an elastic band 18 which may be slipped over a limb of the user to hold the pad in desired position.

In use, the pad is laid against the flowers F or other articles and the ribbons brought around such articles and tied. The pad is then attached to the wearers clothing by the pin 17, if one form is used, or the band 18 is slipped into position for attachment to the limb.
